    July 26, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For the sixth consecutive year the Hotel d'Angleterre, will be hosting its annual summer sub-continental spectacular, a team from London's Michelin starred Tamarind Restaurant.

For the sixth consecutive year the Hotel d'Angleterre, Red Carnation's luxury five-star boutique hotel in Geneva, will be hosting its annual summer sub-continental spectacular. Diners at the hotel's Windows Restaurant will not only be thrilled by spectacular views across Lake Geneva to Mont Blanc - they'll also have the pleasure of discovering the exciting flavours of northwest India, courtesy of a team from London's Michelin starred Tamarind Restaurant.

Five chefs will be flown in especially from London to prepare acclaimed Execurive Chef Alfred Parsad's finest selection of modern Indian delicacies for a three-week extravaganza between 27 July and 15 August 2009.

The extensive menu includes a host of enticing dishes. A particularly popular starter is grilled scallops flavoured with star anise, fennel, and green, pink and white peppercorns served on red pepper chutney. While the grilled spiced salmon steaks, with a tangy sauce of tomatoes and tamarind, finished with mustard seeds and coconut milk, are always firm favourites for the main course. Diners can also opt for a special Kashmir or Dakshin set menu. Desserts to die for include Tandoor grilled pineapple with honey and chaat masala, served with rose ice cream.

Diners can extend their evening of enchanting Indian delicacies with an overnight stay at Hotel d'Angleterre, one of Switzerland's finest establishments, and enjoy its superb decor, celebrated personal service, and relaxing atmosphere with a special Tamarind package that includes:

• One night's accommodation for two in an elegant room (lake-view rooms available at an additional charge)
• Delicious buffet breakfast, to be enjoyed in the privacy of your room or in Windows Restaurant
• Four-course Indian dinner for two in Windows created by the highly acclaimed Chef Alfred Parsad and his team from The Tamarind in London

Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, with majestic views of the Jet d'Eau, Mont Blanc and surrounding mountains, the hotel is a short walk or boat ride to Geneva's elite shopping on Rue du Rhone and the banking district. Each of the 39 guest rooms and 6 luxury suites are lavishly decorated with the finest fabrics and furnishings in a distinctly European style.
